Introduzione

Vai al passo 1

For this repair you will be removing your old grip and replacing it with a new Replacement Grip that you purchased from a sports store. This guide will also explain how to apply an Overgrip that you may have purchased for a variety of reasons: disliking the texture of the replacement grip, feeling you want a thicker grip, or simply wish to protect the more expensive Replacement Grip.
